Abstract
Community-based ecotourism is a sustainable
development alternative that integrates environmental conservation, local
community empowerment, and tourism activities. However, legal challenges arise
in protecting tourism consumers, particularly regarding service standards,
legal liabilities, and guarantees of tourists' rights as consumers. This
article examines consumer protection in community-based ecotourism using a
normative approach by reviewing Law Number 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection and
regulations in the tourism and environmental sectors. It also analyzes the
importance of recognizing local wisdom as part of contextual legal regulation.
This research finds that harmonizing legal certainty with local wisdom can be
achieved through strengthening community-based regulations and developing
service standards based on state-recognized customary law.
